Joules (j) Conversion

A joule is an SI unit of measurement for work or energy, which equals the work done by a force of one newton acting to move an object through a length of one meter in the direction of the object’s motion. In the terms of electric currents, a joule is the energy dispersed as heat in one second by a current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm.
